As if America needed more examples of looking overindulgent, fat, or disgusting. Now Golden Corral offers a chocolate fountain on their all-you-can-eat buffet. Now you have the option of dipping assorted fruits into chocolate and enjoying that for your post-buffet dessert. However, why limit yourself? Its a buffet! You can take a slice of pizza and dip it in the chocolate fountain! Why not use the chocolate as gravy for your mashed potatoes? Who needs steak sauce? Come on, its a chocolate fountain on a buffet!

Okay, I'm getting carried away, but I do have to laugh at this. When we first saw the commercial for Golden Corral's fountain of joy, my wife almost vomited with disgust. I laughed out loud at the absurdity, but it was immediately followed with the thought, "I'd try it". Yes, you read right, I would try it. Yes, even with kids' boogery hands and pieces of who-knows-what foods cycling through the chocolate, I would at least try a bit. If you need more proof that I'm not a germaphobe, click the link above that reads "germaphobe". Put yourself to the test, and read my reasons for not being a germaphobe. You may surprise yourself on where you stand.

For now, here are a few more reasons in addition to the chocolate fountain that I am not a germaphobe:

-I will push a shopping cart around without wiping it down with alcohol wipes first.

- I will pet my dog while eating food.

-I use my fingers to pick excess food out of my teeth, and at times, will eat it.

-I'm not completely grossed out if I accidentally use my wife's toothbrush (although, she is)
